USPTO Examiners is a website designed for professionals to anonymously review, rank, and learn about a patent examiner or a trademark examining attorney who works at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Patent examiners and trademark examining attorneys are public employees who help determine the technological and economical future growth of each industry and business in the world. A simple word such as “allowed” or “rejected” from a patent examiner or a trademark examining attorney could grow or financially burden a company, business, or individual. Accordingly, it is extremely important for the USPTO to have well trained patent examiners and trademark examining attorneys who understand that each of their decisions could benefit and/or harm an industry, business, and/or individual. Having highly competent patent examiners and trademark examining attorneys will result in the USPTO issuing high quality patents and trademarks.

Patent and trademark practitioners who deal with individual patent examiners and trademark examining attorneys are in the best position to express their opinions (e.g., their concerns, as well as their satisfaction) about each patent examiner or trademark examining attorney. Individuals who refer to this website may factor in the opinions of the patent and trademark practitioners when determining the competency and responsiveness of a particular patent examiner or trademark examining attorney. As such, these opinions could be a valuable tool when planning and strategizing a prosecution of a patent or trademark case, which can result in saving clients and inventors a substantial amount of time and money during the course of prosecuting a patent or a trademark.

Accordingly, this website has been developed to form an online collaborative environment in which members of professional organizations, corporations, and inventors may anonymously pool their experiences and opinions about a patent examiner or a trademark examining attorney, including their knowledge of the law and technology, as well as their accessibility.

Your opinions are completely anonymous. You are only required to make a user name and a password to post an opinion about an individual patent examiner or a trademark examining attorney. We do not require that you reveal your identity or provide any identifying information when making a user name and password to make a posting.

USPTO Examiners appreciates the time that patent and trademark practitioners take to post their anonymous opinions.
